I'm sure it'll be a blast. I saw the last 'official' show of the Magic tour in KC in 2008. Someone made a sign that said 'LET MAX SING', Bruce took it, and sure enough, Max sang "Boys", a Pete Best song from the 60's. Soozie sang 'It's All Over Now'. They also played several rarities - Rickey Wants a Man of Her Own, Cynthia, Candy's Room, Devils and Dust, 4th of July (Asbury Park), etc.

We're here to play some Mississippi Delta Blues. We're in a horrible depression, and I gotta admit - we're starting to like it.

Re: Bruce Springsteen 2012 Dates

The election is coming up on all of us and we all have strong feelings about it. I’ve been getting asked a lot about where I stand, so for those who are interested, here goes.

This presidential election is different than the last one because President Obama has a four year record to run on. Last time around, he carried with him a tremendous amount of hope and expectations. Unfortunately, due to the economic chaos the previous administration left him with, and the extraordinary intensity of the opposition, it turned into a really rough ride. But through grit, determination, and focus, the President has been able to do a great many things that many of us deeply support.

Domestically, that record includes working to increase and expand employment for all, protecting our all important social safety net, passing guaranteed health care for most of our citizens, with important new protections for all of the insured, rescuing the auto industry and so many of the American jobs that go with it, protecting and enhancing the rights of women, and bringing us closer to full acceptance of our gay and lesbian brothers and sisters.

In foreign affairs, that record includes following through on the removal of troops from the misguided and deceptive war in Iraq, and vigorously pursuing our real foreign enemies, especially the killing of Osama Bin Laden.

Right now the opposition’s resort to voter suppression in so many states is not receiving as much attention as it deserves. I believe that all of us, of whatever views, should be opposing these anti-voter, anti-citizen efforts.

Right now, for the President to be effective in his next term he needs our increased support and he needs support in the Congress, where some sterling candidates, such as current Senator Sherrod Brown of Ohio, challenger Elizabeth Warren in Massachusetts, and so many others, are fighting to make their constructive voices heard.

Right now, there is an ever increasing division of wealth in this country, with the benefits going more and more to the 1 percent. For me, President Obama is our best choice to begin to reverse this harmful development.

Right now, there is a fight going on to help make this a fairer and more equitable nation. For me, President Obama is our best choice to get us and keep us moving in the right direction.

Right now, we need a President who has a vision that includes all of our citizens, not just some, whether they are our devastated poor, our pressured middle class, and yes, the wealthy too; whether they are male or female, black, white, brown, or yellow, straight or gay, civilian or military.

Right now, there is a choice going on in America, and I’m happy that we live in a country where we all participate in that process. For me, President Obama is our best choice because he has a vision of the United States as a place where we are all in this together. We’re still living through very hard times but justice, equality and real freedom are not always a tide rushing in. They are more often a slow march, inch by inch, day after long day. I believe President Obama feels these days in his bones and has the strength to live them with us and to lead us to a country “…where no one crowds you and no one goes it alone.”

That’s why I plan to be in Ohio and Iowa supporting the re-election of President Obama to lead our country for the next four years.

Re: Bruce Springsteen 2012 Dates

Well I'm going to 7 shows in a row next week so I wanted to just relax on Sunday! But if you say they're the best rock set you've seen in years, I might have to go since it is their last show on their tour? I used to see them back in the day when they played VFW halls in NJ/Brooklyn. I thought they ripped off Desaparecidos pretty badly on their first record but enjoyed it. I haven't listened to them for over 3 years so I'm gonna have to check out their latest materials first. They're playing at Maxwell's tomorrow which is way smaller than Webster Hall but I'm already going to Dinosaur Jr "You're Living All Over Me" show w/ Kurt Vile, Johnny Marr, Kim Gordon, & Al Cisnero

Re: Bruce Springsteen 2012 Dates

I used to never miss a Bruce Springsteen show but he has to shoulder some of the blame for any possible hardships I will face under the Affordable Care Act so I will probably have to skip the Anaheim show.
